The hose from the thermostat to the radiator? I'd be hopping down to a scappies mate, all you'll need for that is a flatblade screwdriver. | |

the leak seems to be coming from the pipe connecting the top left side of the radiator where it joins. What would be the best way of repairing this? .. Sorry if i sound a noob by the way. :o | |

Sod draining your rad / engine / header tank of water every night and refilling it in the morning! Just fix the leak and get some antifreeze in there | |

I was just thinking, scrap what I said about bump starting it. That's when you start taking out valves if the timing's out. | |

If it's not holding water then instead of putting anti freeze in it just to leak out I'd just be draining it of water over night. If it doesn't work at all (even bumping it/ jumping it) whip the belt cover off and give it a wee look. [Edited on 15-11-2010 by alan-g-w] | |

Battery should be cool if it's turning over normally, takes quite a bit of juice to do. | |

First thing id check is the battery, may seem fine but is there enough power to give it the turn over it needs to start? Also spark plugs. Cold weather kills batterys that seem fine beforehand | |
